Tires Goodyear or OEM FORD
ya w rated you get the superior handling in dry summer conditions and it also handles and bites extremly well in the snow. It also cuts right threw water with its shutes in the tread design. You should really check this tire out. I couldnt be any more plz with thise tire on my car. I always hated goodyear but they really did make extremly good w rated a/s tire this time.
check out the Goodyear Eagle GT's. $500 a set. 225/45/17 Best new w rated all season tire out there now. Plus there half the price of many others in its category. i love mine.
I got the same exact set up on my wife's Jetta. Good tires for all season driving, very sticky with awesome handling in the rain/snow and great handling when dry...
Goodyear Eagle F1's ftw!
I'll 2nd this. A lot of people say the sidewalls are too soft for a performance tire, but I think they are plenty responsive and they have nearly endless grip. Wet performance is nothing short of phenomenal too. Another selling point: They are amazingly quiet on the highway. Much quieter than the Dunlop SP Sport 8000's I had on prior.
100% Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s Only summer tires I buy anymore. I've had them on a D2 A8 and loved them, now they're on my GTI in 235 35 19 still lovin them. They are expensive and wear relatively quickly, but they have superior performance in wet and dry weather.
The tires are great in the rain, great in the dry, quiet and give a good ride quality. People have had bad luck with bubbles, yes, but I had no such luck in the past.
They're excellent tires in wet & dry conditions, but as other people have mentioned, they're very prone to sidewall issues and tend to bubble.
They handled well, were great in the rain. Wore out quickly and damaged easily.
Those tires suck a$$. Years back I bought a Supra Turbo with them as OEM tires. It wasn't hard to break the tires loose with some hard acceleration in the dry, in the wet I'd make a quick shift to 2nd and then 3rd to keep the car from squirming all over the road under moderate throttle. Of course it didn't take long to wear them out.
